It is the third time I come to this traditional Brtitish restaurant - first time with a friend and then with husband - all for lunch. The food is impressively nice here, so much that it deserves a critic with good comments : )The moment we stepped in, we were escorted by a senior waiter or caption to the table.

The moment we stepped in, we were escorted by a senior waiter or caption to the table. Chairs are pulled for us, and dinning cloths lain gently on our laps.
Last time we came on a week day so lunch sets were available. This time it's a Sunday so we could choose either the Sunday/Holiday Roast Set or A la carte. We chose the latter and the following shows the nice food we have ordered.
First, we were to freely choose the many freshly-baked bread from the restaurant. The baguette was nice, and so was the bread with herb. The most creative, though, was the three-coloured bread (made with three different ingredients like tomatoes so that's why it comes in three colours) which was also fresh and delicious.
After the bread, the salad arrived. It was "chopped salad" which we ordered. Ingredients included eggs, tomatoes, baby spinach, beetroot, ham and lots of cheese. The greens are so fresh that the whole salad is nice to savour 👍🏻
Then our main courses arrived. Hubby ordered one of their classics, called "Chicken Supreme Kiev", which is a fried chicken stuffed with garlic herb and butter sauce. The waiter reminded him to cut the chicken gently, lest the sauce be split.
My main course is Curry Lamb Madras which comes in either the 'dry' or 'sauced' versions. The waiter advised the sauced one for a first-time trial. It was quite a surprise that before the curry dish arrived, we were presented with a platter of condiments - raisins, peanuts, fried garlic, shredded coconut and two other sauces plus a crispy naan.
Then the curry lamb with rice arrived. The lamb meat was very tender and the rice is well cooked - not too hard and not too soft. The whole thing is just perfectly prepared!
After eating our main dishes, we were so full that we could not eat any more desserts.
We will next time! 😜👍🏻
